I have always associated bar-type devices with something wretchedly ugly. I close my eyes and see millions of small LEDs divided into several square segments with terrible color mixing and visible pixels. This is not just my nightmare, these types of devices have never enjoyed much success in the professional market.
Thanks to advances in technology and the work of manufacturers on their design, adding a few features, more and more devices are appearing on the market that have the potential to find a place for themselves in large-scale productions. A piece of equipment that stands out is the Chauvet COLORado PXL bar in 16- and 8-segment versions.
The device is equipped with 45W LEDs and RGBW color mixing mode. Thanks to the size of the light source, we are sure that it will not be lost when juxtaposed with other large ones in our setup. Chauvet went a step further in technology and so we get motorized zoom in the range of 5.8° - 47.9°, thanks to the use of square lenses between the beams at low zoom we get evenly distributed narrow beams. On the other hand, at wide zoom, the lines start to blend perfectly giving full light coverage. An added value is the possibility of vertical movement of 200°.
What deserves recognition? First of all, the design itself. All the diodes are spaced at the same interval and the edges of the device are thick at half the interval. Thanks to this design, we have the possibility of attaching an unlimited number of devices to each other, thus obtaining an even line of pixels. In addition, we have ensured IP65 protection class, which will guarantee the safety of work in all conditions.
Looking at the latest releases of the Chauvet brand, I believe that this is an item worthy of interest. And do not treat it only as a curiosity, I sincerely urge you to use this type of device in your realizations. For more information about COLORado, I invite you to visit the manufacturer's website and those interested to contact the distributor.
